Bob Dylan turns 80 today, and I couldn’t let that go by without a nod to his musical and lyrical genius. My apologies for the rusty guitar playing: I never was great at singing and playing at the same time, and now I am 20 years out of practice. Like so many of Bob Dylan’s songs, this lyric is timeless. So I’m offering you something different in the form of a musical tribute. Amateurish but heartfelt!
Happy Birthday Bob Dylan! #music

Thanks! I think the voice is better than the guitar but that’s not saying much 😅 I just love Bob Dylan anyway!

Haha Well, if you weren’t so far away, I would give you some toffee. That would make it hard to sing though. 😉 Thank you for sharing your musical talents with us. I will be sure to listen to some Dylan today.

Wonderful rendition, Ingrid! Very heartfelt and sincere!. <3 The song is just as timely now as when it was written, unfortunately. Happy 80th to Bob Dylan! I know you are very busy, but you have a lovely voice and should sing as much as possible! :)

So many of his songs are perhaps even more relevant today than when he first wrote them.

Like I said, I haven’t played for 20 years, so I’m somewhat rusty. I don’t think practice will ever make perfect in my case but I enjoy it nonetheless 😊
